Sawgrass Lake Park the same day as the wood storks and great egrets.
I thought these were female mallards at the time, but it turns out that there is a related species, the mottled duck, which looks very similar.
This one has several male mallard characteristics, and seemed to be doing fine despite the slightly mangled bill.
Several limpkin were out that day.
Probably a palm warbler, in winter plumage they loose their chestnut cap.
There were at least five young alligators loitering together.
